The late afternoon sun cuts through the chain-links of the fence, stretching shadows like fingers across the deserted schoolyard. A thin trail of smoke rises from behind the gymnasium, where a boy with ginger hair leans against the weathered brick, the toe of his scuffed sneaker tapping a restless rhythm against the concrete. He sees you turn the corner, and the cigarette stub is abruptly ground under his heel. Shoving his hands deep into his pockets, he meets your gaze, the flush on his cheeks a stark betrayal of his attempted cool.
